Kompany’s fitness for World Cup in doubts due to Injury

Vincent Kompany’s fitness for the 2018 World Cup in Russia has become a doubt for Roberto Martinez after the defender limped off early in the second half of a pre-World Cup friendly.

With Martinez only having two days left to name his final 23-man squad for Russia, Kompany appeared to pull a muscle while stretching to make a tackle during Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Portugal in Brussels.

The Manchester City captain has been increasingly injury prone in the latter years of his career and his place in the final World Cup squad may now be in doubt.
